Juditha

Juditha is a 39-year-old married woman and the mother of five young children. She has run a sari-sari, or variety store, for more than 15 years. Juditha works hard to earn a living so that she can support her husband in meeting the needs of the family, especially to pay for the schooling of their children.

With this additional inventory, she hopes to attract more customers to her store, thus augmenting her sales and income.
